6 in 10 New York City children are not reading at grade level. You have the power to impact that statistic! This year’s school supply drive will support United Way of New York City’s (UWNYC) ReadNYC initiative that provides students with the tools they need to succeed. Join Safari Energy as we aim to support all 217 students at PS 369 in Mott Haven.
You can easily help in 1 of 2 ways!
SHOP ONLINE TO DONATE SUPPLIES: Click on SHOP NOW to purchase the supplies you would like to donate. You will be emailed a tax receipt at the time of purchase. All supplies ordered online will be shipped directly to our partner schools after the drive ends. In addition, UWNYC will get a 5% cash donation on all sponsor drive purchases!
MAKE A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION DIRECTLY TO UNITED WAY OF NYC to help fund our programs.
ReadNYC is UWNYC’s signature program to improve grade-level reading by third grade - a critical milestone in determining a child’s future academic & economic success. The impact of school closures and the disproportionate impact of COVID- 19 in already vulnerable communities has and will continue to exacerbate long-standing disparities and opportunity gaps. Your donation will provide needed school supplies and PPE to children and position them for increased success as they navigate hybrid virtual and in-person school schedules this Fall.
Although we are unable to host an in-person drive again this year, we are excited to partner with YouGiveGoods to make this year’s drive completely virtual. We are looking for partners, who are willing to help us provide the necessary school supplies. Can we count on you?
Thank you! Your contributions will strengthen our community by helping others in need.
Online prices include shipping, handling, and YouGiveGoods services.
